Q

5 steps in insulin dosing

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. know your pt - ex. renal dz?
  2. calculate total daily dose (tdd)
  3. dose basal insulin (50% of tdd)
  4. dose bolus insulin (50% of tdd)
  5. ongoing adjustment
22
Q

when should insulin be evaluated/adjusted

23
Q

7 factors you must know about pt before dosing insulin

Study These Flashcards
A

a1c
type 1 vs type 2
home meds
bmi
renal fxn
liver fxn
estimated insulin sensitivity

24
Q

indications for insulin-resistant/medium insulin dosing (4)

Study These Flashcards
A

t2dm
bmi 24-30
steroids
home tdd 40-80 u/day

25
indications for extra-resistant/high insulin dosing (3)
t2dm bmi > 30 home tdd > 80
26
tdd low - high
low: 0.3-0.5 u/kg/day med: 0.5-1.0 u/kg/day high: 1.0 u/kg/day
27
30 y/o M, T2DM being admitted for PNA. His home meds include Metformin, Glimepiride, and Januvia. His wt is 100kg (BMI 30). His CMP is normal. A1c 9.0 how do you figure out his insulin dosing
calculate basal insulin adjust w. SSI
28
why do you d.c metformin in IP setting (2)
AKI lactic acidosis s.e
29
why do you d.c glyburide in IP setting
risk of hypoglycemia
30
30 y/o M, T2DM being admitted for PNA. His home meds include Metformin, Glimepiride, and Januvia. His wt is 100kg (BMI 30). His CMP is normal. A1c 9.0 how do you calculate his basal insulin
1. insulin "resistant"/med dose -> 0.5-1.0 u/kg/day = 50-100 u/day 2. use 50/50 rule to figure out starting dose: basal = 50% of tdd --> 25-50 u of glargine/day w. resistant SSI 3. 50 total u/day: -25 u lantus -25 u lispro -divided tid
31
how do you figure out resistant SSI dosing
~8-17 u of lispro/meal OR calculate: 0.1 u/kg/meal = 10 u lispro/meal
32
adjust basal insulin based on __ glucose
fasting
33
basal insulin needs to be adjusted if bg is < __ or > __
< 80 OR > 120
34
50 y/o M, T2DM, wt 150kg Home meds: glargine 50 units BID; lispro: “I dose it myself” A1c 14.1% what dose of glargine do you start with?
start w. 75 u daily (50% of tdd)
35
50 y/o M, T2DM, wt 150kg Home meds: glargine 50 units BID; lispro: “I dose it myself” A1c 14.1% calculate tdd
1. "extra resistant" patient --> 1.0 u/kg/day needed = 150 u/day 2. basal = 50% tdd (150) --> 75% u glargine/day
36
target bg range for most patients on insulin and steroids
140-180
37
when do you need to repeat a1c for pt on insulin and steroids
a1c results < 6.5 (non DM) w.in past 3 mo new sx dm (polyuria, polydipsia, rapid wt loss)
38
when should you check bg for patients on dex who do not have pre-DM or DM
qd as long as it remains < 180
39
what type of insulin is preferred in pt who is also on steroids
nph bid (intermediate/long acting)
40
what condition do you think of when you see a hospitalized pt on steroids
covid pna
41
why is nph insulin better for pt on steroids
shorter duration of action -> faster dose modification dex makes bg spike at all times of day
42
how do you manage insulin for pt on steroids who was previously on insulin
-increase basal insulin dose by 20% and give as nph insulin -2/3 daily dose AM -1/3 daily dose PM
43
management of rapid acting insulin for pt on steroids who was previously on insulin
- home basal insulin < 50 u: sensitive scale - home basal insulin 50-100 u: moderate scale - home basal insulin > 100 u: high resistance scale
44
management of insulin for pt on steroids who was not previously on insulin
- start w. totaly daily dose of nph insulin at 0.3 u/kg/day - 2/3 AM - 1/3 afternoon - sensitive scale lispro
45
how do you adjust nph insulin for pt on steroids
- increase or decrease dose by 10-20% based on bg prior to next scheduled dose ex adjust AM dose based on PM bg
46
Pt is a 63 year old male with pmh of Type II DM admitted for COVID PNA due to AHRF. Pt is started on Dex/RDV. Pt has not been taking insulin at home. He weighs 70kg. His blood sugar is 220. What dose of NPH should he be started on?
70 kg x 0.3 u/kg = 21 u total with NPH we do 2/3 AM and 1/3 PM --> 2/3 of 21 = 14u q AM 1/3 of 21 = 7u q PM
47
d.c consideration for inpt on dex
make take several days for insulin resistance to fall back to baseline -> make sure pt is back to baseline before d/c
48
up to __ of pt's w. steroid induced hyperglycemia and no previous dx may later develop DM
1/3
49
most important d.c instruction for inpt DM pt
close PCP f.u 2 weeks after d.c
50
target bc in the hospital
140-180
51
the 50/50 rule is used to dose
basal bolus
